He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose

He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose
Oh father, forgive our indifference
May your love motivate us

Be our antidote for apathy
Cure our animosity
Inspire our complacency
Be our strength in our inadequacy
That we come to you dependent in prayer

The hope for which the world despairs
Is found in one who came to serve
The divine man, who walked the earth

He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose
And he who tries to save his life will lose it

He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose
Oh father, forgive our indifference
May your love motivate us

Be our antidote for apathy
Cure our animosity
Inspire our complacency
Be our strength in our inadequacy
That we come to you dependent in prayer

The hope for which the world despairs
Is found in one who came to serve
C divine man, who walked the earth
Who gave his life for the underserved

He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose
